I'm a self published author of a technical ebook which I'm selling on my own website for the last 3 years.

I'm looking into the possibility to sell my ebook as CD product on Amazon or Ebay. Basically I will use "kunaki" (CD/DVD publishing website) to create CDs with my PDF ebook stored on them.

As far as selling my CD on Amazon, Kunaki will ship the CDs to Amazon and I will use "Amazon Advantage Program" to sell the CD.

As far as selling on Ebay, I will use Kunaki to drop-ship the CDs to customers when they purchase from Ebay.

Do you guys think the above are possible?

Also, something that might pose a problem is that I'm not from USA (I'm from Europe). Is this a problem to achieve the above?

I will appreciate any feedback on all the above.

    I was checking out that kunaki service.
    I guess that eBay thing shouldn't be an issue untill and unless kunaki ships to them, that is, you check their service area and to which countries do they exactly ship. That should be the only thing you should care about, I guess.

      From what I see on kunaki website, they ship to almost anywhere on the world. So I guess selling on ebay shouldn't be a problem.

    ''As far as selling my CD on Amazon, Kunaki

    "Amazon Advantage Program" to sell the CD.''

    I suggest, if you have an Amazon seller account atm, do conversate with Amazon support, if they'd coordinate with kunaki.

    For the eBay thing, it should work just fine then, since you'd be sending physical product.

    I saw that Kunaki give away a free review copy, my recommendation would be that you use pictures of it to promote your eBook on eBay and amazon. Would make it appear more realistic.

    I'm glad it helped.

    Makes it look more realistic. Plus if anyone charge backs and false reports you to eBay, you'll have the kunaki transaction reciepts plus an actual image of the product would also play by your side.

    Using a phone, sorry I don't quote.
    Also try using eJunkie, they're offering 3 months of free service if you use PayPal as payment processor.

    Yes - you can sell it on eBay and you should do. I have been doing this for years...

    eBay is a huge marketplace, if its your own material you can sell it how you like.
